Direct Source, Source Technologies to deploy interactive kiosks
• 14 Jan 2008 NEW YORK — Source Technologies Inc., a Charlotte, N.C.-based provider of integrated solutions for managing intelligent self-service kiosks, and Direct Source Inc., a Chanhassen, Minn.-based provider of retail kiosk integration, deployment and services, have announced a partnership to provide tier-1 retailers with new interactive self-service kiosks.
According to a news release, the new kiosks and modular customer applications are being showcased at the National Retail Federation Convention & Expo in New York this week.
"The retail industry is rapidly developing a need for self-service technology beyond price-checking and self-checkout," said William Bouverie, chief executive of Source Technologies. "Our interactive kiosk is the first to provide multiple, unique self-service functions in a single, all-inclusive device."
The kiosks offer retailers a flexible device that performs multiple consumer services, including price checking, product location, gift-card and -registry transactions, store mapping, coupon dispensing and frequent shopper tracking. Additionally, the kiosks support digital signage and assisted selling, and they can be deployed in any new or existing retail environment.
"Retailers recognize the potential benefit of multifunctional kiosks and are ready to move toward more consumer-friendly self-service devices," said Brad Fick, president of Direct Source.
